About The Sun Child,
Prince of Egypt

What Others Say

Those who have read Sun Child, Prince of Egypt, have commented on how easy I led them into Ancient Egypt and the life of this young prince, like actually walking into the scenes.

Edmund Meltzer's (The Esteemed Egyptologist)
comments:

"Rene O'Deay has given us an engaging and sympathetic portrayal of
the 8-year-old Prince Tutankhaten, the future King Tutankhamun, and his life
at the Egyptian court. Through her eyes we see him and his companions
with humanity and immediacy, and the setting with vivid detail. She has
obviously studied a great deal and devoted serious thought to that crucial
period of Egyptian history, and to how the motivations of real people could
have brought about such portentous events. Her Tut is no stiff puppet
pulled by the strings of history; he is definitely a real boy. . . and a real
king. ...the Prince... so charmingly brought to life."

"An easy entry into Ancient Egypt. This is better than Harry
Potter," said Joe Perrin,
retired Forest Fire Spotter and father of eleven. "Even privileged
children will learn about courtesy and thoughtfulness."

"You surround the reader with vivid imagery, inviting us to
float down the Nile and hide among the reeds. To feel the cool tile floors
on bare feetÂ as weÂ walk the long, pillared halls of palaces and temples.Â ToÂ knowÂ a
premonition of sadness for a brilliant young leader," commented
Vivia Giovannini, author of The
Glass Ball.

"I learned a lot about Ancient Egypt and hieroglyphs. I hope the second
book comes soon," said Theresa B., my 13-year-old reader.

"As one author to another...I really enjoyed reading your book
on the young King Tutankhamun.
Making him come alive right in front of your eyes is wonderful! Now I am
awaiting your 'second episode' and am intrigued by the title "Scorpion Queen"
in reference to his wife, Ankhesenamun, one of the daughters of the enigmatic
pair, King Akhenaten and Queen Nefertiti."

Book Two: The Scorpion Queen

But the story doesn't end there, other visions revealed to me include the important part played in Tut's reign and after by Queen AnkhesenpaAten, who changed her name to Ankhesenamen when Tut changed his to Tutankhamen, and the drama surrounding his fatal injury.

What happens next?

Adventures, intrigues, restoring order to the torn Kingdom and Empire, attempts on their lives, romance....

You'll just have to wait for The Scorpion Queen, Book
Two of the Children of the Sun, Tales of King Tut.
